Fulton Woodworking Tools 4" x 50' Ultra Flex Clear Vue Heavy Duty PVC Dust Collection Hose

Great quality and works as advertised. Holds suction power excellent with my Record Power 220V 5hp dust extractor. The quality of the tubing is equal to the 6' flex tube that Record Power provided with the dust collector. As with any flexible hose connected to a high powered dust collection or dust extraction system, if the suction is cut off due to the end of the hose sitting open end down on the floor or workbench, or putting your hand over it, it will retract to it's shortest length, and could knock over your dust collector or nearby equipment if they are not secured in place or if the tubing is not secured well. It's simply physics. Sizing of the hose was a big question mark for me when I purchased. I wasn't sure what type of rigid tubes it would fit over nicely. I am happy to say that the female ends of standard black ABS plumbing drain pipe are a fantastic fit. The pipe itself is too small, but the female end of a pipe fitting is perfect since it is larger. For tube runs that end with just the regular pipe, I put a 3" coupler fitting on the end and then have the perfect size to attatch this flex hose.

I bought this hose to replace some I had gotten from grizzly that would barely stay “extended” on its own, and then would collapse when you turned the collector on. It would pull the collector around the garage, pull the hose off the disconnects from the tools, etc. Terrible. So, I tried this hose out and I’m so glad I did! Excellent product, stays extended when you stretch it out and only collapses a small amount based on the suction from the blower (can’t get around this, it’s physics, y’all) but not completely and not enough to move my dust collector or pull the hose off any of the tools. The hose material is extremely durable and has a little tackiness to it so it holds onto plastic adapters and tool ports well. This was such an awesome purchase and I highly recommend this product for any woodworkers looking for an great hose that won’t be difficult to work with.

I agonized over this purchase as I have been trying to complete my dust collection system on the cheap. This is the one thing I spent money on that I think was worth it. This hose is very well made and I believe it will last. The plastic is thick but the hose is still flexible. This is not the flimsy, poorly made flex hose you can buy as a dryer vent at Home Depot. I was very pleased when it arrived and I saw the quality. I bought the 50 foot version to get the price per foot down to a reasonable level. I will use it all.

Durable and gets the job done !

The hose is not as heavy duty as Powertec hose but it should work for my purposes

Works great

I cannot comment on the usefulness of this tubing in a construction setting, but for my small business of ferrets, its perfect! I have 3 ferrets, and ordered the 50 ft 4' wide They LOVE it. I love it, I can see if there is any mess inside, and I can see their shenanigans! 10/10 will be ordering more. It is floppy, it does not support itself, its not like the colored plastic pet tunnels from PetSmart, and does not do that crunchy accordion effect. I like this myself, and my babies have no issues climbing around in it, if anything they seem to travel better in this softish plastic vs the hard. So far, no damage from them, or otherwise. I did mess with it a bit seeing if I could easily deform the wire etc and I cannot, I foresee this holding up very well! I will update if anything notable occurs! I did not have any wire sticking out the end of mine, but I do see how that might happen, they have little covers you can buy for the ends if it does but as of now I am not using any myself. The smell mentioned in another review is just like the pool isle in a store, when you open something brand new and rubbery/plasticy / like an inflatable pool toy fresh out of the package, it does air out and you don't smell it anymore.

My ferrets absolutely love this tunnel. It withstands a lot of their abuse!
